Data sets on production were collected over an entire year and both installations were compared under various levels of radiation. The installations were assembled with mono-Si panels, mounted on the same support system, and the power supply was equal for the inverter and the measurement system; the same parameters were also employed for the wiring, and electrical losses were calculated in both cases. The results, in economic terms, highlight the importance of properly selecting the system components and the design parameters for maximum profitability PB Elsevier SN 0196-8904 YR 2012 FD 2012-02 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4703 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4703 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos RD 23-nov-2024
